I was thrilled to bits to find an email in my inbox today, informing me that I had received a "Beautiful Blogger Award"! What a gorgeous idea. The blogging community never ceases to amaze and inspire me with it's constant support, encouragement, kindness and strong sense of community.

In keeping with the Beautiful Blogger Award, here are the other parts to my task:

2. Optimism and positivity fuel me and keep my world turning. I can help but see the good in things and situations. Conversely, negativity, pessimism and scepticism all give me the shits irritate me.

3. I feel extremely fortunate to have made such an amazing, inspiring and amusing friend in Kayte, at the ripe old age of 35. Our 6 year old boys went to pre-school together when they were babies, and they're now at the same school. It was only a year ago that Kayte and I became really close and I now actually feel like I've known her since Primary School. And nobody can make me laugh as much as Kayte does. Except maybe my husband...

4. South Africa is my birthplace. My family immigrated to Sydney, Australia in 1986, when I was 12. And I am incredibly thankful that they would sacrifice so much, and rebuild their entire lives from scratch, purely to provide their children with a better future.

5. Right now, I am very tired. Deeply tired. I've stayed up past midnight most nights for the past 3 or 4 weeks, tending to the conception/birth of my Table Tonic online empire business. And last night we went to a beautiful, crazy, Irish wedding at the stunning Bells of Killcare. So, yeah. Tired.

6. I pretty much despise television and am constantly threatening to throw it out the window. I struggle to sit through any kind of movie, either. Which is sad. And frustrates my husband, no end. There's just always something else I'd rather be doing - being productive is my whole "go" in life.

Oh my goodness, thank you. That is so very nice of you and definitely left a smile on my face. You seem like the loveliest of lovelies and I am so glad to learn more about you. What a wonderful and inspiring list! Thanks again, dear lady.
